Unicode Version 17.0
𐠱
U+10831 "𐠱" Cypriot Syllable Tu is a character from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, primarily for the ancient Cypriot dialect of the Greek language. This specific character represents the syllable "tu" and is part of a script that was deciphered in the 19th century, providing valuable insights into the linguistic and cultural history of ancient Cyprus, including its administrative and poetic texts. The syllabary, which includes around 56 characters, was largely replaced by the Greek alphabet after the Hellenistic period, but its preservation in the Unicode standard ensures modern digital accessibility for scholarly study and historical representation.
